Mom-something religious
Aldana Parents-House (tv show on DVD)
He doesn’t have two sets of parents. He is buying something for Aldana’s parents, even though (s)he gets nothing. Probably an in-law whose parents are actually cool.
Please do go on, this is fun AND easy!

I left this note with the exact same questions. The age of the writer is strangely hard to judge. The fact that their mother found the note suggests that there’s a possibility the writer is young. This also goes with the handwriting style.

On the other hand, what age of a kid chooses sh*t in a bag as an acceptable gift, right along side getting someone else’s parents a house?

If this IS an adult, then I seriously want to get on his good side. Cause, apparently, if he really likes you, you practically win the lottary!

Phizzle: Yeah my husband thought it would be “House” on DVD too. That makes more sense. I see the Aldana’s parents thing now too.

This note likes reveals something else each time I look at it.

Okay is Carola and Aunt Carola the same person?

Who is “kid” and whom does “kid” belong too? Also I wonder how old “Kid” is because unless “kid” is 5 or older they are not going to know what t0 do with a gift card. Makes me wonder if the person writing the note is also a “Kid” I wonder the age difference?

Um, not “House” on DVD…something for their house is a much more logical assumption to make than a TV show (pretty sure Phizzle was joking. April and her husband are a match made in Slow Lane Heaven, bless their hearts. Always interesting to see what people like them wonder about.)
I’m guessing he’ll settle on a Chia Pet, or some other “As Seen On TV” item.

“What the hell does “religious” mean as a gift?”
How about a crucifix necklace? Rocket science. I know. It’s hard.

I guess this concept is foreign to me because that is not how I shop for people. I don’t blindly go out with general ideas of what to get and wander aimlessly around stores till I find something that fits that notion. I hate shopping so I know exactly what I am getting before I go in, head straight to what I am getting, then buy it and get the hell out of the store.

So yeah the whole some random housewares and some random religious gift does seem foreign to me. I also am not a huge gift person because I figure if I don’t know you well enough to know just exactly the perfect present for you then I really shouldn’t be getting you a present in the first place.

The note lists ideas about what types of gifts someone may like, not necessarily specific gifts. He’s not going out blindly. He’s developed a clear plan on what type of gift to get each person. He just needs to find the appropriate gift (within that framework, his pre-selected criteria) for each person now.

You honestly live life clueless, huh?
Good luck with that…really, but please stop voting. If you can’t understand a Christmas list, you shouldn’t be deciding who runs the country…just saying, that’s a pretty good rule of thumb to go by.

The joke is Sandra’s “shit in a bag”.
Jesus Christ on a cracker! You’re dumb, but at least you now know what to get Sandra, so squat and sing “Jingle Bells”!

So are you honestly going to advocate against voting rights for all citizens? Wow…… Yes, let’s go back to only property owners and males being allowed to vote. Or go back to where black people’s votes only counted for a portion of a vote that a white person’s vote counted for. Why the hell not?! Might as well. CB has declared it so.

I guess CB forgot to remove her holiday tampon. Why are you being so harsh, And for the record, I’m pretty sure it is “House” on dvd. He has a couple of other specific gifts on the list, and everyone knows household items are the lamest gifts ever. Your post is bad, and you should feel bad.

April, Black people’s votes have NEVER counted for less than a white person’s vote.

Better re-read American history…a little knowledge about the subject may help you when you go out to vote for King.

I didn’t mess with the other two because it reads like they were messing with you (sarcasm, look it up), not agreeing with you…except the third one I’m about to address (maybe dress down? yeah, I guess I will)…

itzpapalotl, I guess you think “BBQ” is a specific gift and he’s gonna gift them each an order of spare ribs from the local “shack”.
Maybe, since the list says “House” not “House DVD”, he plans on getting them Hugh Laurie!
You’re pretty sure it’s House on DVD, huh? I’m 100% sure you’re wrong.

Canthz & Sirius: Well you guys seem pretty intelligent, so I guess you could figure out that since I was going with the tampon joke and Canthz is being catty today it would only make sense to say you are being a woman, You know, to add to the effect. But… I guess I was wrong! Oops!

And “Toys R Us card is kinda specific

Seriously though. Get over yourselves. It’s just the internet. Happy Holidays folks!

Nice try.
If it’s just the internet, why did you feel compelled to shove a tampon up my ass here? Because you thought I was some woman you could intimidate, that’s why.
If you’re a woman, you should be ashamed. If you’re a man, you should be (and probably are already) shunned by all women.
You could have read the posts and stayed above the fray (because you’re better than that). But now, after joining the fray and looking stupid for it, it’s just the internet? You’re full of shit, got called on it, and backpedaling out like mad.
That’s what you get for hitching your wagon to an idiot.

Yes, there were some specific gift ideas…and some generalities. You can’t point to one without recognizing the other.
We’re not talking about the Toys R Us card. The issue is whether or not “House” was specific enough to decide if it means the TV show or a more general term.
Don’t make yourself out the fool (let me do that), you know this, I’m sure. You chose the wrong side and were flat wrong (April’s married, you have no chance no matter what gender you are, or how low your standards).

You wouldn’t be the first to make the gender mistake when it comes to “Canthz_B”, suck it up.
Don’t try to back-fill, because that BS doesn’t work around here. Most folks here are pretty bright. We aren’t falling for it.

Try to know wtf you’re talking about before you attack next time or you’ll crash and burn again.

At the risk of being a buzz kill, I don’t think Sandra’s getting a bag of crap. I think her brother’s bought a bunch of things for her (aka “shit”) and it’s sitting in a bag somewhere waiting to be wrapped.

How did she even make the list, I mean he must have been thinking about something, bag o shit is nice but let’s make it interesting, super huge mastif poo in a gunny sack wrapped in condom wrappers with a feminine napkin sting tied around it. But that’s just me

Ding ding!!! This was my brother’s list from last year & yes- he was 22. My mom was doing some of his laundry & I guess this fell out. I couldn’t stop laughing! For clarification- our Mother is Catholic & Mexican, so yay for Jesus! Aldana was his girlfriend (now broken up- so I guess “nothing” was a prudent gift) Her parents were in the midst of a move- he meant “housewares”, our sister & our Aunt have the same name & $660 was the amount he was spending, the “kid” is my 10 year old neice & he really fucking hates our sister in law, and was galled by the fact that he had to get her anything in the first place. This year we drew names- he didn’t get her….

Here I was thinking Sandra was the list-brother’s wife. So expected to hear that this list was either from when they were young enough that she could have a crush on him, and he was still in the “girls are gross” stage, or came from the Christmas immediately preceding their divorce.

I had to make a diagram to figure out the relations in this family. There could be other siblings, but I think Sandra being the note-writer’s wife is the best, and most hilarious answer. But if brother (note-writer) is the husband, why would he have the list at his mom’s house?

Has no one else considered, given the vagueness of some of the other items, the possibility that “shit in bag” refers to some stuff (colloquially, “shit”) that he has already purchased, and that he has in a bag somewhere obvious?

I also have a SIL named Sandra that’s a total bitch. What’s with that name? (apologies in advance to all Sandras who are not bitches.) It never occurred to me to give her a bag of shit for Christmas, though. Clearly I should have been aiming higher with gift ideas..
